Buildings and the construction industry are responsible for approximately 40% of the planet鈥檚 energy-related carbon emissions. This simply cannot continue.
海角视频 is at the forefront of driving the net zero carbon agenda. Committed to developing and sharing knowledge of this critical issue across engineering and construction, we were among the first signatories to the World Green Building Council Net Zero Carbon Buildings Declaration. Moreover, 海角视频 has a seat on the steering group for the UK Green Building Council net zero carbon buildings framework definition task group.
In addition to publishing our own Climate Emergency Action Plan, last year we initiated the 鈥楨ngineers Declare鈥� movement to galvanise the broader professional community in tackling the climate and biodiversity agendas.
As stated in our Global Sustainability Report, 海角视频 has set three clear net zero carbon targets: for our own operations by April 2021, in operation for all our new build projects by 2030 and for all projects by 2050. We understand not only what it takes, but also how existentially crucial it is, for us and our clients to meet these ambitious goals together.
